Daryl Morey
Biography of Daryl Morey, currently General Manager at Houston Rockets.
The Cultural Politics of the NBA and China
This research explores the Daryl Morey incident as a case of international communication. On October 4, 2019, the general manager of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey, posted a seven-word tweet saying "Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong" that showed support for the violent protests in Hong Kong. This led to a major fallout in the NBA's relationship with China. This paper analyzes this case as an index to the larger picture of US-China relationship. Firstly, I evaluate the development of the NBA in China with the efforts made by Yao Ming from cultural, political, and economical perspectives. Secondly, I examine the details of the Daryl Morey incident to reveal the influence of this incident in China and the factors influencing the NBA's campaign in China. Lastly, I develop insights from the Daryl Morey incident at both macro and micro levels to evaluate the influence of this incident on US-China relationship. In conducting this research, I will play particular attention to the impact of social media in shaping the incident and considers the future of NBA's sport diplomacy in China.

"With the 8th pick in the 2006 NBA draft," Stern began, "the Houston Rockets select Rudy Gay from the University of Connecticut." The four thousand Rockets faithfully erupted into euphoric cheers. Rudy Gay was a highly touted college prospect who some analysts projected could have been one of the top three selections in the draft. To be able to select him in the eighth spot seemed like a steal for the Rockets and their newly hired Assistant General Manager, Daryl Morey. Moments later, the assembled crowd's jubilation turned to horror as television analysts covering the draft announced breaking news. The Rockets traded the rights to Rudy Gay along with another Rockets fan favorite, Stromile Swift, to the Memphis Grizzlies for Shane Battier. Jeers of frustration rang from the Rockets fans. How could the Rockets trade Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier? Learning Objective: To address the operational and organizational dynamics of an NBA franchise.
